Paul recently sat down with KOAT Channel 7 to discuss New Mexico's $6 billion in unspent capital outlay funds. He discusses why it is an issue and what he believes should be done about it. NPR: left leaning Texans are moving to New Mexico. New Mexico is corrupt, but lack of economic freedom is a primary cause, not the effect. New Mexico's "clean fuel standard" takes another step towards implementation. The US Senate has voted to overturn California's EV mandate (which is what NM is working under). The bill now heads to Trump's desk. Paul to participate in panel discussion on Trump tax cuts/reform. RGF to host event on decline in NM's economic freedom. Paul and Wally recently watched a video series about New Mexico by a YouTuber named Nick Johnson. The video on Santa Fe is particularly interesting and funny.

Questa volta, il vostro affezionato CaRfa vi parla di ben due pellicole che dovete assolutamente recuperare.Due film molto simili tra loro, nei quali la tecnologia è fondamentale per cercare persone scomparse, trovare indizi e svelare segreti e identità nascoste. In Searching, un padre deve ritrovare sua figlia, mentre in Missing la protagonista è un'adolescente alla ricerca della madre sparita durante una vacanza con il suo compagno.Due thriller moderni, giocati quasi esclusivamente dal punto di vista degli schermi di computer, tablet e smartphone, ma ciononostante non risultano mai noiosi.Il ritmo è sempre dinamico, le scelte narrative non risultano mai banali né scontate e il mondo della rete è messo in scena in maniera veramente interessante...inoltre, nel secondo film, c'è un Joaquim De Almeida super simpatico e tenerissimo!Mi raccomando, non ve li perdete, che poi vi interrogo, eh???

Namechain is an L2 developed by ENS Labs, to enhance the scalability and efficiency of managing decentralized identities on Ethereum. It is designed to work in tandem with ENS V2, which introduced a hierarchical registry system for more efficient subdomain management and custom resolvers. A key vision for Namechain is to unify multi-chain user identities, creating a "digital identity chain" that simplifies how users interact with the broader blockchain ecosystem. This is achieved through features like L2-to-L2 bridging, which allows users to initiate ENS-related activities from various Ethereum Layer 2 networks, not just Namechain itself.Topics covered in this episode:High level overview of ENSCrosschain functionality through CCIP ReadDomain squattingOnboarding ENS users via Paypal and VenmoGoogle & GoDaddy integrationsENS V2 upgrade & NamechainTransferring tokens from Namechain to L1Sequencer security assumptionsScalabilityNew features & use casesENS roadmap & metricsEthereum ecosystem statusEpisode links:Nick Johnson on XENS on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

According to a new Wallethub report, New Mexico is dead last when it comes to the Return on Investment (ROI) for taxpayers And, another new Wallethub report places New Mexico first on "most stressed." The best part of what happened in the session is the death of several bad bills. State data on Albuquerque Public Schools finds the District's performance on education metrics wanting which broadly reflects the recent findings of NAEP. A travel journalist on Youtube named Nick Johnson recently traveled to Albuquerque's Warzone. He called it: "The Most Frightful Neighborhood In America."

[VIDEO available on Spotify.] Imagine a vagina. You might be thinking of a passive tube, patiently waiting for a penis to shoot out sperm — and you wouldn't be alone. From Aristotle to Darwin, tons of prominent nerds classified males as the active sexual players: They're coercing, manipulating and harassing to reproduce, while the females are passive, coy, chaste. But animal ecologist Dr. Tiana Pirtle is here to give us the real story. Because once scientists started investigating what really goes on in the vaginas of the animal queendom, they realized that — far from being docile tubes — vaginas are packed with their own weaponry, tools and secret chambers. It turns out that both penises and vaginas were allowed to fight in the evolutionary arms race. Pirtle breaks open a box filled with animal vaginas to tell us all about it. Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsWhenVaginasAttack In this episode, we cover: (00:00) A Box Full of Vaginas (02:42) The 'Chaste' Female is Born (06:51) The Duck Vagina that Launched a Thousand Ships (11:06) Hyenas and their Pseudo Penises (13:23) Water Striders and their Genital Shields (16:53) Snakes and their Two Vaginas?!

What does it take to triumph over loneliness, stress, anxiety, and depression at the highest levels of business? Imagine reaching the peak of your career only to find yourself feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Nick Johnson, author of "Executive Loneliness: The Five Pathways to Overcoming Isolation, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in the Modern Business World," joins us to share his deeply personal journey through these exact challenges. Nick's story is a powerful reminder that even the most successful individuals can face mental health struggles, and his candidness about his resignation and fight with depression highlights the importance of self-honesty and understanding the root causes of our feelings.Throughout our conversation, Nick emphasizes the need for robust support systems, including mentors, coaches, and peer networks. We explore the often-hidden world of executive loneliness and the critical resources available, from charities to hotlines, all designed to provide free and accessible help. Nick's own experiences with overcoming socially acceptable addictions, like alcohol, offer a compelling look at the importance of vulnerability and storytelling in breaking mental health stigmas. By sharing his journey, Nick encourages others to take that crucial first step toward seeking help and building a resilient support network.We also touch on the significant role that community and mentorship play in personal and professional growth. Drawing from a real-life example of a friend's wife navigating the HR field, Nick highlights the benefits of connecting with local groups to manage work stress effectively. Our discussion wraps up with reflections on the profound impact of executive loneliness and the invaluable guidance that mentors and coaches provide. For anyone interested in delving deeper into these themes, Nick Johnson's book, "Executive Loneliness," is available on Amazon and LinkedIn.

Welcome to a new episode of Patriot on Purpose! Today, we talk with Nick Johnson, also known as PewView, a renowned sharpshooter from Iowa. We discuss the concept of patriotism, Nick's background, his impressive shooting skills, and his journey to becoming a popular content creator on YouTube and Instagram. The conversation covers everything from the challenges of being a gun content creator, the importance of training and community, and all the way to Nick's insights into the firearms industry. Highlights: "Most Americans live the way that you do. You just never see it represented." "Somebody that loves their country and somebody that will stand by their constitution and do whatever they need to do to be able to protect it." "As long as you're constantly dry firing even if it's every day, every other day that will help you so much when you actually get to the range."

They say nostalgia is a seductive liar, but when Max reconnected with his high school comrade Nick Johnson, the only fibs were the ones that made the stories even funnier. From the mischief in Mr. Butcher's auto class to the shenanigans in the neighborhood, we shared a hearty laugh reliving the moments that solidify lifelong friendships. As the tales unfolded, the episode turned a corner, revealing the unexpected twists Nick's life took—from BMX tricks to circus flips.Taking to the rails, Nick traveled with a group of performers who could turn a train car into a home and a parking lot into a playground. We discussed the intricacies of circus life, from the compact living quarters on the train, complete with their own culinary delights, to the thrill of executing the perfect stunt under the big top. It's a life of perpetual motion, where the bonds of a shared journey create a family in motion, and where I learned that the biggest adventures often come with the smallest living spaces.The final act of our conversation was a heartfelt nod to the evolution of personal narratives. Life, like a circus, keeps moving, and I've gone from the dazzle of the spotlight to the warmth of home where family and music now take center stage. With a chuckle and a strum on my guitar, I looked back at the ride with Manjok and the troop, and ahead to gigs with my band, Side Rail. So, step right up to this episode, relive the laughter, the leaps, and the life lessons learned from a world that's always under the big top.
